It's a conversation about our thoughts on the hair and makeup department and how over the years they've had it out for Black women. Nonetheless, we share some of our favorite tv shows and movies! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/confessofa2pod/message Sat, 25 Sep 2021 11:51:22 +0000 https://anchor.fm/s/44b70658/podcast/play/40823539/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2021-8-25%2Ffdc426d1-abe5-258a-5b59-f72cc009cb2e.mp3 https://anchor.fm/s/44b70658/podcast/play/39405462/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2021-7-27%2Fef83b778-ffb4-5e07-a266-447864fe23a7.mp3 This week it's all about discussing BOUNDARIES: what are they, why do they exist, who needs them, when to share them, etc. We talk through our process of creating boundaries and what they look like in different relationships and spaces, while also discovering what each other boundaries are. As well, we open up about times where our own boundaries were crossed and what those situations looked like afterwards. It's an episode about learning new discoveries about one self while bringing awareness to an issue some take for granted on a day to day basis.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/confessofa2pod/message Fri, 27 Aug 2021 11:00:00 +0000 https://anchor.fm/s/44b70658/podcast/play/39405462/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2021-7-27%2Fef83b778-ffb4-5e07-a266-447864fe23a7.mp3 https://anchor.fm/s/44b70658/podcast/play/38715638/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2021-7-13%2Fa0c0bd84-1989-303b-300c-5053b65f02bb.mp3 In today's episode we discuss the way in which we've entered the "toxic behavior realm" by choice at least once in our lives. We share how we've not only been toxic towards ourselves, but to others as well. But toxicity doesn't have to last always. Furthermore, we share our toxic dealbreakers and why we choose not to bargain with putting up with certain behaviors in any form of relationship we seek. Now go grab some tea because it's Toxic Tea Time! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/confessofa2pod/message Fri, 13 Aug 2021 11:00:00 +0000 https://anchor.fm/s/44b70658/podcast/play/38715638/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2021-7-13%2Fa0c0bd84-1989-303b-300c-5053b65f02bb.mp3 https://anchor.fm/s/44b70658/podcast/play/38059323/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2021-6-30%2Fb9510be9-c4aa-5278-c917-535d10ea2a54.mp3 It’s officially been 6 months since we started our podcast and we have so much to reflect on! Along with that, we’re already half way through the year of 2021 so here’s our half year review. In this episode we analyze old goals we’ve set for ourselves from our very first episode, create new goals, and discuss new experiences we’ve gained on the way. -Happy half year to you all, give yourselves a pat on the back because you’re still standing. Never give up.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/confessofa2pod/message Fri, 30 Jul 2021 14:20:38 +0000 https://anchor.fm/s/44b70658/podcast/play/38059323/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2021-6-30%2Fb9510be9-c4aa-5278-c917-535d10ea2a54.mp3 https://anchor.fm/s/44b70658/podcast/play/37332632/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2021-6-16%2Fe3ceebca-fb32-efba-071a-eba0de249f89.mp3 If it's one thing we all crave, it's the ability to be one's true self at the core. Although, sometimes the path to finding one's true self can be tricky when you have missiles like social media and other worldly things trying to shape who you should be, instead of aiming for who you want to be. In this episode we discuss our personal growth about learning to accept and be ourselves, amongst the many factors that try to sway us differently. We talk about originality and if we’ve ever personally been hindered by others to hide who we are. So sit back and relax as we share our ongoing journey. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/confessofa2pod/message Fri, 16 Jul 2021 13:00:00 +0000 https://anchor.fm/s/44b70658/podcast/play/37332632/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2021-6-16%2Fe3ceebca-fb32-efba-071a-eba0de249f89.mp3 https://anchor.fm/s/44b70658/podcast/play/36567058/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2021-6-2%2F6161899b-0a70-7906-2247-dbf7359b578f.mp3 This week's episode is centered around music with our main focus on posing the question, 'can you ever truly separate the art from the artist?' Do artists deserve third and fourth chances after conducting themselves in mischievous ways upon the world finding out? After all they are human. A tricky question that deserves an answer. As well, we discuss our favorite genres, underrated artists who deserve more recognition and answering what good music means to us individually.   --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/confessofa2pod/message Fri, 02 Jul 2021 12:00:00 +0000 https://anchor.fm/s/44b70658/podcast/play/36567058/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2021-6-2%2F6161899b-0a70-7906-2247-dbf7359b578f.mp3 https://anchor.fm/s/44b70658/podcast/play/35718574/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2021-5-18%2F8b4b6b7e-5d10-4ddc-ab50-3279bf4c23f2.mp3 Just for a second, think about how often you make unintentional and intentional promises to people everyday. Perhaps you even make them to yourself. You say today will be the day you finally go to the gym or you’re finally going to give your neighbor their cake pan back after you said you’d return it by the weekend. Well, the weekend is over and they still don’t have their cake pan. Oh and you never went to the gym because you no longer felt like going. Does this mean you’re a fraud? Or does it mean you don’t know how to keep your word? In this episode we discuss the importance of honoring our word to ourselves and to other people. We dissect why words have power and how an individuals tongue can make or break their reputation for their future. We also share times where on both sides covenants were made but actions fell short. In conclusion, it’s about saying what you mean and meaning what you say. So, how many promises did you break this week?  --- Send in a voice message: https://a...

Specifically the hair that lies on the head of Black men and women. Our hair is resilient. It's versatile. Tough. Long. Short. Kinky. Curly. And yes, ridiculed. Although nothing new under the sun, we discuss our love/hate relationship with our hair journey and the ways in which society views Afro textured hair. We break down the weight in which “curly” and “kinky” hold when it comes to referring to individual texture and why one usually gets more lovin’ than the other. Furthermore, we share natural hair nightmares, how advertisement plays a big role in brainwashing and the many many rules and regulations from modern day hairstylists/braiders. Perhaps, it’s something in the air. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/confessofa2pod/message Fri, 04 Jun 2021 11:00:00 +0000 https://anchor.fm/s/44b70658/podcast/play/34815797/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2021-5-4%2Fff448d11-69a1-89a0-2a8a-c0f7ab635b90.mp3 https://anchor.fm/s/44b70658/podcast/play/33957602/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2021-4-21%2F188724348-44100-2-2c3caaf6a0806.m4a Back for season 2, we kick off this episode in a discussion about what true career fulfillment looks like for each individual and discovering how to know if you’re actually fulfilled from it. This particular topic touches a bit more considering three of us have recently within the past two years resigned from our jobs. Essentially, we’re looking at what our purpose is and the gifts we obtain that could illuminate a passion within us. As our first guest, David Carr, shares his experiences and knowledge on his own personal quest in life and how its shaped his own purpose. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/confessofa2pod/message Fri, 21 May 2021 14:00:00 +0000 https://anchor.fm/s/44b70658/podcast/play/33957602/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2021-4-21%2F188724348-44100-2-2c3caaf6a0806.m4a https://anchor.fm/s/44b70658/podcast/play/31041870/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2021-3-9%2F4724605f-cacf-3994-4bde-6e4ae50f3f8e.mp3 As a wrap up of our final episode of season 1, we decided to come together and ask each other a series of random questions that have been on our minds. It's a mix of light hearted questioning and thought provoking answers, all while keeping it real and being intentional with one another.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/confessofa2pod/message Fri, 09 Apr 2021 11:00:00 +0000 https://anchor.fm/s/44b70658/podcast/play/31041870/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2021-3-9%2F4724605f-cacf-3994-4bde-6e4ae50f3f8e.mp3
